STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS - Deleted Scenes & Rejected Concepts (Spoilers)

Best movie of the year. I need more SW.

PS4 Battlefront bundle delivered today... anyone played this? expectations are real low
staring at the loading bar for 20 more minutes

I see Rey being Lukes offspring before she's Obi Wans relative. I think we will watch the whole episode VIII with Luke training Rey and in the end he will reveal he is her father. Just my un educated guess!

Go with your first feelings. You are letting picky internet trolls affect your judgement. And hate leads to the dark side. I've been an original Star Wars fan since the 70s and have been deeply involved in Star Wars events and fan films since the 90s and there is no doubt this is a great movie and in no way messes up Star Wars but carries on the torch and relights it after the prequels. But if you are more a Prequels fan than OT fan, then I can't help you. People seem to think the Prequels and the EU of the past 25 years are Star Wars, and I can tell you they are assuredly not. Star Wars is the first three movies and this movie is here to remind us of that, and bring everything back into alignment. And, truly, if you can not have fun and enjoy this movie and realize how great it is as a franchise film, then you really can not see the forest for the trees, or the Ewoks hiding among them. Go watch it again and set your anger aside and enjoy the hell out of it again. I have seen it three times and it just gets better and better. I have seen the other movies so many times that, honestly, they don't carry as much magic for me as they used to. This one brought it all back and I am very thankful for it. This movie was exactly right at the right time and if others start looking back on this and thinking it's not as great as it really was, then it is the darkness of the world coming into view and not the feeling of wonder that captured them when first watching it in the theater. And I was very apprehensive about this movie before it came out, and I am not a blind fanboy. I know where each of the other six movies fail. And I know why some people see the repetitiveness in this movie as weakness, which I do not. What we all need to do is appreciate the great movie we got. And that there are more to come. But I think I am more concerned about those as this is where Star Wars must be taken into new and different directions while keeping the magic. But now I have faith and we all need to relax and enjoy what we have for now. It's awesome, has great character themes, and is just down right fun! Let go of your hate and let the Force Awakens flow through you. And that's all I'll say about that.

It wasn't another Death Star. It was another super weapon. The EU has been redoing that shtick for years and nobody complained. Nobody complained (recently) when it was in Jedi or in Episode I. It's just part of Star Wars. This was the main push of a First Order grasping at a major takeover of galactic rule by eliminating their main opponent. This was a different purpose than the Death Star. And you want the rest to be a road trip movie? Well, that could actually be good, but wouldn't have been right for this movie.

Where's that Star Wars logo up top taken from? It's quite different from that actual star wars logo but looks really cool.

Stupid movie... I miss the prequels

@gurugeorge

I understand your point of view, because this movie could have been a lot better if only J. J. Abrams had the balls to do something new, but he never had them. So he was afraid to show too much of what was coming in Episode 8 while also wanted to make a solid movie.

But i believe that if he have left the search of Luke Skywalker be the Main Plot (like it was) and never have touch that stupid Starkiller Base idea. Then we would get a better story.

That underwater Falcon search was interesting.

Snoke telling Rey to kill Ren would just be overkill in spelling things out to idiots. You didn't need something so heavy handed to explain the look on her face as she overpowers him... the darkside. But still "Uh der, how does she beat Ren? DOI I never seen a STAR WARS movie"

Since my first comment has disappeared, I'll just say it again.

As a reboot, this film works, mostly. But as an actual sequel, the film completely fails. Instead of taking the story in a new direction, JJ Abrams has simply recycled the OT conflict, but without the team dynamics and character chemistry that actually gave the Original Trilogy its magic. TFA may, on the surface, stir up some of the original feelings you had, but that's mere NOSTALGIA, and it doesn't actually do justice to the broader narrative or to the original characters. TFA soared on the performances of Harrison Ford, John Boyega and Oscar Isaac. But Han Solo is dead, and none of the new characters (Poe, Finn and especially not Rey or Ben) can replace Han, Leia, Luke and Vader. A new narrative could have given each of these characters room to make their mark, but in this current reboot, they are poor stand-ins for better characters.

I don't think Rey is a Kenobi for one simple reason:

Obi-Wan Kenobi is the purest, most perfect Jedi there is. He is everything a Jedi is supposed to be. He wouldn't go against his training or beliefs and father any children.

@TFett, its good to see how passionate you are about star wars, but maybe thats where bias comes into place. Tfa was average. Me personally, it could have been much better and there seem to be a few flaws in the movie. For example, kylo ren senses han solo arriving, but doesnt sense him when he is hiding right behind him. And how on earth could fin stand a chance against kylo ren???
i think its an average movie but is doing great due to the star wars fanbase and because there is nothing else great to watch at the movies at the moment
